But where does it end? People not wearing gas masks makes you less safe. People leaving their homes at all makes you less safe. A certain amount of risk is necessary if you're going to get out of your bed in the morning.

What most people (including me) do is this: we follow the law (in almost all cases) and we use our own subjective judgements to determine how to act besides that. This gets tricky because even if none of us breaks the law, our subjective judgements often differ. Some examples:

1. The law where I live says I need to wear a mask inside public places/stores, which I do happily.

2. I wear a mask when I'm outside and there's lots of people around, because according to my subjective judgement, this makes sense (the law does not require this).

3. I don't wear a mask when I'm outside and there aren't a lot of people around.

4. I don't wear a mask when I'm running along a trail.

5. I don't eat-in at restaurants, even though the law allows maskless, indoor dining.

What I find wrong about your comment is that you seem to be holding people accountable for not sharing the same subjective judgements as you. If I see people dining, maskless, inside a restaurant, I think "well, I wouldn't do that, but other people disagree". I don't categorize them as untrustworthy, bad people.
It wasn't the case on the original iPad (only started with the iPad 2), but iOS will show you the last version compatible for this iOS (even if this is not the most recent version available on the App Store).
Assuming of course that all the APIs being used by this app are still functional.

iPad 2 launch date was 2011.
This isn't true, or at least there's more nuance to it: I just logged in to my number-based account which I must have last used in 2002-ish while playing Ultima Online, as another commenter in this thread mentioned. My account still existed and all of my contacts were still there.
In a subset of electronics that had not yet “plateaued” until recently like smartphones, managing obsolescence has to be even more tricky.

In terms of sheer power, the difference between even and iPhone 4 or 5 and 11 or 12 is staggering and so huge that the speed difference can be felt even with pedestrian tasks. Earlier models like the original/3G/3GS are so much slower they’re practically on a different plane of existence.

It’s almost like the difference between an early-90s 68k Mac and and early 2000s PowerMac G3/G4 towers. The gulf between the two was so wide that continuing to support even the most powerful 68k models just wasn’t practical.
B.1.1.7(UK) and B.1.351(SA) the article links to the source. They say "variants including", but I doubt they would leave out the Brazilian one if it was tested.
I don't have anything like this and I think it's a bad idea to be keeping a wiki like that. The premise here is to accumulate knowledge for the sake of knowledge itself. In my experience this isn't productive, takes time, and is not going anywhere. There is a reason you forget things you read about - you don't really need them and your brain does you a favour by forgetting.

For me - a better alternative is to only seek and store knowledge about things you are currently working on, and organise it by project. And if you read something that is actionable - do it and forget about it. Ideas are also fine, but if you have more than 3 then it can be a sign of procrastination.
before donald trump was ever in office, i always believed that these voting machines are complete bullshit. our entire voting system is bullshit. and it would be easy to fix. these machines have been shown to be massively flawed and vulnerable to hacking/tinkering. again, this was my opinion before donald trump was elected.
The linked study names the 501.V2 / B.1.351 / South African (vulg.) variant. This variant also has the E484K found in the B.1.1.248 / Brazil (vulg.) variant.

That said based on the title you might assume the vaccine to be as effective, but that's not quite what the study says. In short it states:

>A six-fold reduction in neutralizing titers was observed with the B.1.351 variant relative to prior variants. Despite this reduction, neutralizing titer levels with B.1.351 remain above levels that are expected to be protective.
I'm aiming to read Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance. I'm always being told I should read it, but the title has always put me off.

I used to read a lot, but over the past few years I've read less and less. 2020 was definitely not a good year for deep reading.
Sea Level Rise Could Flood 260 Airports, New Study Says
I like how the example you used actually uses plain language "what it is, who it is for, and when/where it will be used", but because you approached this with the mindset that you're right and UX people dumb, you failed to see that and disproved your own assertion.

The claims Giuliani made against Dominion and it's voting equipment is verbose in articles related to this topic, as well as the case filing.
I acknowledge that electric cars are objectively superior. But subjectively I can’t get excited about one. I want a great sounding exhaust. I want a great feeling manual transmission. Cars for me are more about feeling, heritage, and excitement than about raw performance and efficiency. For that reason I think I’ll try to hold on to gas cars as long as I can.
My professor once talked about a Canadian small town he worked in for a while where people where people generally left their keys in the ignition when they went to the store.

I actually remember the weird feeling I got when I moved from my parents home (where we didn't lock our doors at night) to my first apartment (where I definitely did).
Just saw that you're the CTO of Cloudflare. If I launch the initiative, do you think your company could endorse it? Or become a sponsor for a prominent backlink?
I agree with you. I wish Python 3 had strings as byte sequences mainly in UTF-8 as Python 2 had once and Go has now. Then things would be kept simple in Japan.
Python 3 feels cumbersome. To handle a raw input as a string, you must decode it in some encoding first. It is a fragile process. It would be adequate to treat the input bytes transparently and put an optional stage to convert other encodings to UTF-8 if necessary.
I recently dig up some old folders on my musheen and found harpjs back. It's a really nice static sige generator that I found easier to grasp than 11ty, gatsby, etc.

Hi @Gh0stRAT, you are very welcome! For prefix search on strings, I recommend the classic String B-tree paper (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/301970.301973). Among recent results, there's the c-trie++ paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1904.07467.pdf) and the papers mentioned in their Related Work section.
They said (1) that there's no fixed date for the launch, as this is an ongoing effort.

But considering that the initial version of the Site Editor is already part of the official Gutenberg plugin (2) – and they usually include features from the current version of the plugin in the main app – it is expected to be released with version 5.7 of WordPress, next March.

I think it's more complicated for Google. If you get above a certain number of shares, they vest every month. If you get a medium number of shares, they vest quarterly. If you get a few, they vest yearly.
In a pay-to-play industry, where Boeing make things other than commercial aircraft, and knowing that American administration, regardless of political persuation, will keep it alive? Sure.
Co-production is a form of design, no? You design within constraints and it should be happening in tandem with the development of the system so they both feed into one another.
>These pieces rely on discredited sources who have peddled debunked theories about Dominion's supposed ties to Venezuela, fraud on Dominion's machines that resulted in massive vote switching or weighted votes, and other claims falsely stating that there is credible evidence that Dominion acted fraudulently

That's Dominion's statement. They're describing a pretty exceptional situation / distant from what I would think of as security research.

Obviously that's not a legally binding statement or anything but I think that at least illustrates what this situation is about.

This isn't a case of someone being mistaken or putting forth a good faith concern about security.

These accusations are based in nothing at all, disproven, and Giuliani and others just kept at it.

Researchers usually have actual evidence for concerns and so forth. And their motivations usually really is security.

This situation with Giuliani and actual security research seem completely disconnected.
But that is specifically meant to preserve the battery longer, and at any rate can be fixed with a new battery, just like my car needed new breakpads.
At a much smaller scale, though. After living most of my life in Brazil, I still bristle at how stuff happens here in the US, with much less papertrail than I'm used to because people often trust the systems and people in place.

When I bought a home I just wired the down payment, didn't get anything other than the bank statement saying I had wired the money. In Brazil I'd get a paper proving they got it and stuff.

So while the fear of "bothering" is real, the fear of losing a considerable amount of money because the person on the other side is not trustworthy (and I'd say Brazilians in general assume no one is trustworthy) is worse in a much bigger scale. I'm not sure I'll ever be as carefree as americans but not having to care as much as I used to back in Brazil has been a huge boost for my mental health.
There's a video in the article. Sounds a little bit quieter, but still a lot of prop noise.
Bundlewrap: First Impressions
In 5 years you might not be able to tell who supported totalitarian lockdowns, forcing healthy people to sacrifice their physical and mental health, their jobs, etc in order to keep the wealthy retired and the weak from having to experience hardship.

You won't know who you can't trust to not be a fascist who would gladly see your life ruined for going outside alone, because it's "against the lockdown rules".

That is, you won't be able to tell who is someone like you.

Get it?

Your own words are taking what's left of trust, pissing all over it, covering it in petrol, and setting it on fire, then saying "shame that those other guys ruined everything".

Jesus wept.
Good thing Dominion voting machines do leave an auditable paper trail, which was hand-audited in all of these disputed states and which verified the electronically-reported results.
Did they jail the politicians? And if not, why not?
Not relevant to this topic, TD bank is one of the worst banking institution I have dealt with. Reading about them gives me nightmares.
These days people think there is more risk from a "supervolcano" than from an asteroid strike, particularly since the near earths have been much better characterized.
Probably killed itself out of boredom at having such an easy-going life. Alternatively, there was something toxic in the water which they were drinking.
You're trying consumer services. Try commercial services such as Star2Star, Nextiva, Mitel, Ring Central. I believe all of them have voice, SMS and desktop/mobile apps.

Might be a better place to start reading about it.
Unfortunately this is not a good thing for Dominion in the long term. The cult made up lies and successfully convinced a large population its real and the whole party brass is in on the scam. However this is a terrible situation for Dominion.

They are forced to sue to prove they are not in the wrong, however that will spun as choosing sides and they could be kicked out when the contract ends. For the cult, this company and the service they provide is just another cog that should be controlled and they will try to get some enabler in there.
I've been advocating for this type of thing, especially since a lot of the tooling around NodeJS is so bad, viz:

For my personal site, I switched to Marijn Haverbeke's Heckle <https://marijnhaverbeke.nl/blog/heckle.html> several years ago. I realized that I could pretty easily do a rewrite that uses my browser's native JS engine + browser APIs instead of requiring NodeJS and depending on the slipshod fragility of the NPM ecosystem. The result is triickl:

https://codeberg.org/triplescripts/triickl

What's more is that, because I also created some tools that allow triickl (and similar programs) to be packed into a single, self-contained file that can run in the browser (e.g. buildfoo.html or pages.app.htm), it's pretty natural to let there be a page on the target site corresponding to this file. The end result is that if you're using triickl, you can clone the site's source repo and then use buildfoo.html to generate the static assets. In other words, so long as you're able to get your hands on the source tree, then every computer is already a development system.
New Future of Work Research [pdf]
And here I thought my ~5 year old house was efficient at 25-30kw per day. Granted I do charge my ev. But my heating and water, water and oven are gas.
Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies, General Electric, Northrop Grumman, and Honeywell all spring to mind. Most of those companies do not presently manufacture entire aircraft, but they're all in a position to do so if they acquired only a fraction of Boeing's assets. Raytheon Technologies in particular already makes engines, avionics, and interior systems. All they'd need is a manufacturing plant to assemble everything onto a fuselage.

Boeing and Lockheed Martin get a lot of name recognition for handling the high-level design and manufacturing of aircraft. But in reality, their planes are an amalgamation of engines, avionics, and interior systems which are often contracted out to other companies like those I listed. Many of them could step up and fill Boeing's shoes if a good deal presents itself - especially if there was extra incentive seeing as it would be a matter of national interest.
You may be right and this will lose money (I haven't done the math and don't know enough specifics), but you also need to figure in maintenance and fuel costs which are much lower with electric planes. The trick is picking the correct use case and short flights to an island are probably the first target for these aircraft.
Exactly what I thought. Probably more beneficial for attacker would be to report the security vulnerabilities and receive a bounty in turn.

That’s a story as old as time. Getting millions of people to believe a lie is not exactly an innovation.
365 days or 1 year? Smaller units are more credible
Random, but is there much money in Asterisk. I looked at it briefly for something, turns out it didn't fit my needs, but nearly all production grade telephony interfaces seem to be biased towards it (try getting help with DAHDI if you aren't using it). I'm just curious if it's and product worth learning how to hack on.
ImDiskToolkit replacement using Arsenal SCSI-miniport driver
If you are using ImDisk Toolkit and facing issues with newer applications which use the Win32 API GetFinalPathNameByHandle - there is a simple GUI and Windows service/daemon for the Arsenal Image Mounter driver which solves the issue.
Layman warning: I never really understood (as an outsider who does not code) why code can be unsafe. Is code more like art (painting) than math (writing an equation which balances itself)?
I use a .dev domain for my main email address, and I occasionally encounter sites that don't accept it as valid. Even worse, sometimes I could create an account but then something would be broken, such as when I could log in to Best Buy via their mobile app, but not their website (or vice-versa—I can't remember for sure). I'm assuming I get hit both by incomplete whitelists and ill-advised blacklists.
I'm wondering if Google and others can claim that what's put out by outlets like Fox news are not actually news but entertainment and the laws don't apply to that. They use that argument constantly in court to wiggle out of lawsuits.
What are these based on? Are these just opinions?
One of the things I wish the most technologically is simply being able to record my thoughts. Sometimes in the middle of a stream of thought going back and putting it on paper, taking notes disrupts the process somewhat. Also obviously translating visual imagination and recollection is more difficult (more for someone that wasn't trained artistically). My memory is imperfect too and I've forgotten a few ideas I thought were amazing because I didn't write them down at the right time.

I, for one, welcome the mind-reading devices.

I'm sure it'll be limited by physical contact so I'm not much worried about some science fiction scenarios. However, the implications for police are indeed worrisome, enough it should warrant specific legislation as soon as possible (i.e. non-consent mind reading should be made a grave crime, and a war crime, as soon as the technology is available)
Amazon Union Drive Takes Hold in Unlikely Place
The 6s is still getting updates. The user meant they got an ios 14 upgrade. But it continues to get security updates now. Rumour is it will get support dropped in september for ios 15, though Apple has been issuing security updates for older devices so remains to be seen.

Ongoing support has to be seem in the context of the market. Every phone manufacturer bases support on both original sale date and ongoing sale date. So you can’t just ignore original sale date when considering longevity.
I don't call myself a C/C++ programmer but I have done both professionally, am productive in both, like them both.

I understand and appreciate where idioms differ and that there are pros and cons to each.
lots of dodgyness. ppl's judgement clouded by orange man bad.

why does a municipal voting machine need a weighted race function?

how is chain of custody maintained re usb keys?

why are ballot images not being retained (happened in massachusetts r senate primary)

why do they run on windows 10? lol
Dominion voting machines leave an auditable paper trail and thus do support hand-counting of paper ballots, which was done as part of the recounts in disputed states. No discrepancies beyond the margin of error of hand counting were found in those recounts vs the electronically reported results.

You can see how they work in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9BDiO3JGTs
Learning some new programming languages like Rust, might build some tools for myself, we'll see though.
Does that have something to do with the article / lawsuit though?

The lawsuit is about claims that are straight BS...
I think you have to be outside of America to have this perspective now, it's too drowned out inside to make sense to anyone who can only read it through the American lens. I would be less concerned with any particular legal case though, and more concerned with the chilling effects of American political culture itself. By its very nature, any supposedly disinterested researcher will now be viewed with intense suspicion.
Yes, this election was the most secure due to the paper trail that mail-in ballots provide. I would trust that more than the bits of a closed, black voting box
Anyways, info about J can pretty much be found only on its website (jsoftware.com), so don't really bother looking elsewhere. The only other good place is Rosettacode.

What do you mean by "Lisp interpretation on J language"?

There's an APL in Common Lisp called April. Otherwise, there's an unfinished J interpreter on the Racket package manager.
In the SW US, there's also "I'm an Indian, not a 'Native American'." Euphemisms don't accomplish anything.
Given the focus on enterprise systems and teams, really looks like it was a Solarwinds type (but lower sophistication) attack where SO wasn't really the target. The targets were users of SO Enterprise or teams products.
Your analogy makes absolutely no sense.

There are operating systems written in rust. If that is possible, then anything else is possible too.
That doesn't give anyone the right to say baseless claims and present them as facts on front of millions of people.
And researchers aren't usually operating under the delusionally optimistic assumption that they'll get $20,000 per day and a presidential pardon for their work.
The Gap in Sleep Equality
With the Canadian/US land border closed, but 5m (minute or meter) flights over the border being kosher, the sweet spot right now is temporarily massive.
The foundation doesn't develop the code, they just provide infrastructure, both legal and hosting. So if the OO community can't get its act together, what they need to do is "downgrade" OO is some form to communicate the project has stalled. They also have a PR funnel to call for more contributions.

But my understanding is that https://www.libreoffice.org/ has all the momentum now.
I like the idea of a program (eh it's in javascript but whatever) that let people create personal websites without having to understand all the complexity of the web, and that allow people to keep control over their data.

It's in the "internet is for everyone so let everyone use it and create things with it easily" project category (which is my favorite) :)
> One-ness is a physical property and that's why we can see it.

We can see it, but does that make it a physical property or something that we impose upon the universe?

For the rest of your statement, I don’t know if we can easily define “true” or “useful”. Epistemology has been working on those concepts for a long, long time, and I don’t know if they’ve made much progress recently.
A quick linux script is easy for one person and a nightmare for another. You can capitalize on that desire to automate that simple task with a clean ui.

Most categories already have a product, what you really want to look for is called a unique value proposition, or what makes you different. With this in mind, the product can already exist, but you can make a _better_ one. So that toaster you use that you wish was just a little better, or doesn't have a satisfying click or doesn't have wide enough slots... you get the idea.

I don't have much to offer for point #2. In fact, I need to stop procrastinating and get back to work now.
Are you interested in adding support for Markdown output? We're using pdocs specifically so that we can integrate it inside mkdocs output.

Example API docs from pdocs, rendered in mkdocs:

Though I have to say your HTML output looks quite nice.
Skimming through this, it looks more like organized public bookmarks. Many of the pages just contain (mostly) a list of links. There are barely any notes.

I actually do this as well. Just some text files, where I put links I stumble upon, which I find interesting. Not always all links but only really interesting ones. Also maybe only for topics where I think it's not so easy to find such links later on via Google. Also, I don't really intend this to be complete.

Sometimes I also do research on some new topic, and for that I keep notes. If I think the research / overview / my notes of this topic are of any value to others, I would maybe just make it public somewhere.

Some of these links and notes I keep private. If it is public, I would probably just put it here:

This article made me think immediately about a lot of discussions regarding blockchain suitability for a given use case.

I realized solving for a « no trust » environment is extremely expensive (even purely computationally if you look at proof of work as a solution).

Most of the times, deciding to start putting a little trust in the design saves a lot of complexity...
